Here’s an update on the progress of our showers tonight…

The leading edge of the main area of showers extends from DeKalb through Marshall, Blount, Walker, Tuscaloosa and Pickens Counties.

The heaviest rain extends from southern Lamar County into Fayette and Walker Counties.

Some light to moderate showers are over parts of Etowah, Clahoun, Cleburne and Cherokee Counties.

A sharp line of echoes, marking the front extends from The Colony to Sumiton to just west of Tuscaloosa. Behin dthe front, winds shift to west then northwest and temperatures will drop.

The threat for severe weather has diminished, although there will be some strong gusty winds, especially behind the front overnight.
